CLEVELAND — José Ramírez hit a solo homer in the sixth inning, breaking Hall of Famer Larry Doby's franchise record with his 87th career go-ahead blast and lifting the Cleveland Guardians to a 2-1 win over the Detroit Tigers. Ramírez's drive off Tigers starter Jack Flaherty hit the foul pole in right field, breaking a 1-all tie that had stood since the first. The Guardians have the second-best record in the American League at 23-12. Riley Greene homered on the first pitch of the game for Detroit, which lost its fourth straight. The shot off Triston McKenzie was Greene's second leadoff homer this season and the third of his three-year career.
